I've written nearly eight pages of background, and I've still not gotten to the actual topic (Cromwell's Irish campaigns - 'A Bloodbath in the Name of the Purity of Faith') of my paper. As fascinating as I find all of it, why, O why did I pick the animosity between Ireland and England, with the attempt in mind to pin-point where and when everything went fubar. Better people than me have in all likeliness been driven to thorough head-desking over the subject.
